A minor but potentially interesting discovery: The oversaturated image seen at 6:49 (immediately before Brian is floored) matches the frozen image of The Operator at ~6:47 (by the doorframe). Check it out:

For reference, here is the slightly distorted image of The Operator at the doorframe (~6:47).

Next, here is the oversaturated, disorienting image seen between the doorframe shot and the shot of Brian on the floor.

Do you see the similarities? Here is a side-by-side comparison to make things clearer. On the left is a close-up of the original doorframe shot (~6:47); on the right is a full frame from the transition shot (6:49).

If you look through the footage around 6:49, you can also make out several other visual landmarks such as the white space of the door at the left of the frame. Evidently, the 6:49 footage shows an oversaturated, distorted close-up The Operator's arm and torso.

***Begin speculation***

So what is the significance of this finding? As several have noted, the audio accompanying the close-up shot at 6:49 seems to be Brian calling out "Alex."

Why would Brian be calling out for Alex when The Operator is right there? I can buy him calling out for a friend while he is running from The Operator, but calling out a friend's name when he is face-to-face with an Eldritch abomination seems like really poor prioritization.

Perhaps Brian cannot see The Operator and simply continues calling out to Alex as before? Or (to plant an even taller epileptic tree) maybe Brian sees Alex in place of The Operator since the latter is a mental projection of the former?

People are saying they can see Slendy behind Brian's head after the railroad scene. Is that Slendy, or just some form of signpost?

EDIT: As for the above theory... if he /is/ shouting "Alex!", it's probably because he's terrified as shit as to what happened to the person he came in with, and that's the only person that could potentially help him then.
